Crash! Expensive parking-brake lesson...
Here's my neighbor's month-old roadster, which rolled backward out of his garage, across our residential street and into our neighbor's mailbox. Poor guy wasn't home when it happened, but it looks like he left it in neutral with no parking brake engaged. Yikes. It could have been *lots* worse.

Wonder how much that cost him to fix.
